The device incorporates cybersecurity and protection features into a single control platform, aiming to simplify the design of machines and production systems. One of its key features is its reduced size: the CompactLogix 5390 is 43% smaller than the previous CompactLogix 5380 controllers, thus minimizing the space required in electrical cabinets. The solution is targeted at machine manufacturers, original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), system integrators, and industrial end users.

Integrated Cybersecurity and IEC 62443-4-2 Compliance:
The CompactLogix 5390 is based on Rockwell Automation's Logix platform and incorporates integrated cybersecurity and security features. According to the manufacturer, its cybersecurity capabilities are aligned with the IEC 62443-4-2 standard, and the controller is ready to meet the requirements of the European Union's Cyber ​​Resilience Act. These features are designed to facilitate the development of machines that must meet increasingly stringent protection and security requirements without adding complexity to their control architectures.

Siva Iyyamperumal, senior product manager at Rockwell Automation, points out that machine builders need to combine performance, safety, and cybersecurity in increasingly larger and more connected systems. He emphasizes that CompactLogix 5390 brings these capabilities together on a single platform to simplify design and facilitate the expansion of advanced automation applications.

Compact Design and PointMax I/O Compatibility:
The new controller incorporates compatibility with local PointMax input/output modules, enabling more modular automation configurations. Its 43% reduction in size compared to the CompactLogix 5380 helps optimize available space in control cabinets. According to Rockwell Automation, these features also facilitate standardization of designs across different machine families. The controller is designed for applications requiring greater processing power, expansion options, and connectivity for integrating data and diagnostic tools.

Integration with Kinetix, PowerFlex, Stratix, and FactoryTalk:
The CompactLogix 5390 is designed to operate within Rockwell Automation's Integrated Architecture ecosystem. This platform brings together technologies for control, input/output, visualization, motion, safety, and information management.

Solutions compatible with the new controller include:
- PointMax: input/output modules.
- Kinetix: motion control solutions.
- PowerFlex: frequency converters.
- Stratix: industrial networking technologies.
- FactoryTalk Design Studio: engineering and design software.
Integration with these tools enables the development of control systems ranging from standalone machines to more complex production facilities.

Applications for Machine Builders and Integrators:
Rockwell Automation is targeting the CompactLogix 5390 at original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), systems integrators, and industrial companies that need a scalable control and information management platform. The controller is geared toward more complex machines, modular process equipment, and production systems that require integrated control, safety, and diagnostic functions. According to the company, its architecture simplifies engineering tasks, reduces commissioning risks, and facilitates the expansion of automation systems. The combination of increased processing power, connectivity, and integrated safety features aims to meet the needs of increasingly demanding industrial applications.
